Gravitational waveforms from SpEC simulations : neutron star-neutron star and low-mass black hole-neutron star binaries

Francois Foucart, Matthew D. Duez, Tanja Hinderer +9

Gravitational waveforms from numerical simulations are a critical tool to test and analytically calibrate the waveform models used to study the properties of merging compact object…

Surrogate model of hybridized numerical relativity binary black hole waveforms

Vijay Varma, Scott E. Field, Mark A. Scheel +3

Numerical relativity (NR) simulations provide the most accurate binary black hole gravitational waveforms, but are prohibitively expensive for applications such as parameter estima…

Evolving Metric Perturbations in dynamical Chern-Simons Gravity

Maria Okounkova, Mark A. Scheel, Saul A. Teukolsky

We present a well-posed constraint-preserving scheme for evolving first-order metric perturbations on an arbitrary background with arbitrary source. We use this scheme to evolve th…

Numerical black hole initial data and shadows in dynamical Chern-Simons gravity

Maria Okounkova, Mark A. Scheel, Saul A. Teukolsky

We present a scheme for generating first-order metric perturbation initial data for an arbitrary background and source. We then apply this scheme to derive metric perturbations in…

Systematic effects from black hole-neutron star waveform model uncertainties on the neutron star equation of state

Kabir Chakravarti, Anuradha Gupta, Sukanta Bose +12

We identify various contributors of systematic effects in the measurement of the neutron star (NS) tidal deformability and quantify their magnitude for several types of neutron sta…

Comparison of binary black hole initial data sets

Vijay Varma, Mark A. Scheel, Harald P. Pfeiffer

We present improvements to construction of binary black hole initial data used in SpEC (the Spectral Einstein Code). We introduce new boundary conditions for the extended conformal…
